LAMP 1.2.4 won't restart

I had the LAMP stack going but was having major problems with Mantis – it was not sending out email. I thought perhaps that Mantis needed to be restarted in order for the sendmail to work, the following is what occurred.---
[root@rh5 lampstack-1.2-4]# ./ctlscript.sh restart
Syntax OK

So currently the whole LAMP is dead in the water. How to fix? How to prevent?

That was the issue with the LAMP Stack, it was installed as a user and not as root.
Is there a way to have the LAMP Stack start automatically as the user in the system xinet or do I have to do uninstall (how would one do that) and then install as root?
